Pierre Garcon Said on Sportscenter that Kirk Cousins Was Starting for the Redskins This Week
Pierre Garcon, the Redskins receiver, appeared on Sportscenter sometime in the last 24 hours TODAY and said that backup QB Kirk Cousins was starting Sunday against the Browns in Cleveland. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. On Monday, Vegas had the Browns (three wins in a row!) as a touchdown favorite and, well, DID YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO RG3′S LEG? It looked like his season could be over, but surprisingly, the MRI results came back clean.
While it’s unclear how long RG3 will be out – this week? rest of the regular season? – here’s an optimist’s view on Cousins: Every rookie QB that has played this season, from Luck to RG3 to Russell Wilson to Ryan Tannehill, and even Nick Foles last weekend (albeit against the NFL’s worst pass D), has had more success than expected. Cousins has thrown 11 passes in two games, with two TDs and two interceptions.
In case you’re wondering, the Browns defense isn’t horrible (Top 15ish in most categories). [video via Dan Steinberg]

They had the Browns as seven point favorites? Holy crap.
December 11th, 2012 at 11:17 AM
That was far from a declaration that RG3 will not play, more of a hypothetical “gotta prepare for the worst.” Shanahan loves to keep the other team guessing, final verdict on who the starter is won’t be official until the weekend.
December 11th, 2012 at 11:19 AM
RGIII is hell of a lot like Vick in one sense: He’ll never play a full season.
December 11th, 2012 at 11:19 AM
Whoever starts they lose.
December 11th, 2012 at 11:22 AM
Ryan Lindley is glad to hear that.
December 11th, 2012 at 11:22 AM
I haven’t seen any line for this game. Where did you see CLE (-7) ?
December 11th, 2012 at 11:23 AM
That was strangely worded in the post, but I think that was the line post-Griffin injury and assuming he would not play.
December 11th, 2012 at 11:23 AM
This.
And CERTAINLY this.
December 11th, 2012 at 11:26 AM
RGIII is hell of a lot like Vick in one sense:
Herpes?
He’ll never play a full season.
Oh.
December 11th, 2012 at 11:30 AM
Kirk Cousins can beat the Browns.
December 11th, 2012 at 11:35 AM
Why can’t Vince Young get some of this action?!
December 11th, 2012 at 11:37 AM
will be interesting to see a full game without rg3. run run run with 46? can that line protect a less-mobile qb against a D that doesn;’t have to worry about a running threat?
these are the skins without sizzle
December 11th, 2012 at 11:43 AM
Link?
Pretty sure that game is off the board, across the board.
December 11th, 2012 at 11:46 AM
Nope

this has had the Browns -6.5 since yesterday

More true a month ago, they are frisky now. I’ve been pretty consistent picking KC/CLE this year because I kind of like the talent on both teams. Despite that clear lack of judgement, I’m right at 57% now, with the Pats victory last night.
December 11th, 2012 at 12:26 PM
Kirk Cousins!
/swoons
FUCK YOU, KIRK!

wwos what’s interesting about gambling is that unless you bet the same amount on each game, success rate may not equal a fat wallet. i got both my plays wrong on mnf last night but came out ahead because of the blazers game i picked right
do you adjust your amount based on confidence, or only play the ones you;re really confident on? i play a lot of games, for the fun of playing alot, and adjust amounts based on strong gut/sprinkling of research/sports knowledge
